Hub3: Does wired connection throttle Wifi throughput?

[nealser]

I have checked the speed on my new Hub3 install and I'm getting >400Mbps download.  Streaming Netflix HD over Wi-Fi to TV with no problem. 

As soon as I add a PC (which has a Ethernet cable) to Hub3, and start some downloads, the wifi to TV has slowed to almost nothing.

I've read that VM is not throttling bandwidth so why the slowdown?

Thanks for any tips!

I'm syncing an Ethereum node on the PC, so it's P2P traffic.

You only ha-be a[ certain amount of bandwidth. It’s like a water pipe, if you turn on all your taps in a house the pressure drops, you share it equally in this case.

Thanks Tudor for your response,  but I think 500Mbps bandwidth shouldn't slow down with 3 devices using it.

Hi nealser, thanks for coming back to the thread. Sorry to hear of the WiFi slowing down. I've had your other thread closed so please don't make multiple threads for the same issue 🙂

The TV, is it near the router? If so, can it be connected via Ethernet cable?

best,

[nealser]

I'll try a cable thanks

The greater number of connections to a download the less your TV can get plus high latency and bufferbloat.

My zyxel VPN300 doing BWM default priority 7 have setup for video to Guaranteed 71680Kb at priority 7 can run 4k 60fps from youtube when P2P and steam downloading fine on 100M doing such a thing without BWM that would not be possible.
